Please fill out this second permission slip so I know which students are traveling to the events in March. The deadline for this permission slip is going to be February 1st. This will enable us to coordinate travel to these events.

District Events start on a Friday at 5PM. They run all day Saturday and Sunday. You can find information about the district events at http://www.nefirst.org/ In general, they are not overnight events. No classes should be missed because of these events. We are attending 3 events:

North Shore District March 11-13: Middle of the BUA Break

UMASS Dartmouth March 18-20: End of the BUA break.

BU District Event: April 1-3:

Build Season

Lab Open Hours: The lab will be open weekdays from 3PM to 6PM and weekends and holidays from 12 noon to 5PM – the lab phone number is 617-358-3854

The build season lasts for 6 weeks

The build season ends on Tuesday, Feb 23rd

Expectations and Commitment: The time commitment for robotics is similar to a varsity sport. If students can commit to only a couple hours a week, they can still go with the team to the district events. However, in order to be part of the overnight travel team, Freshmen and new members of the team are expected to commit to an AVERAGE of 5 to 10 hours a week.
